World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade

Primarily because they've captured a Naaru and, basically, tortured it until they learnt its secrets. Their use of the light is a defilement and an affont (Although to be fair the only Alliance race which actually comes close to being good enough to use the Light in the first place are the Dwarves.), and every time a Blood Knight throws a spell around it will be profane.

And the Forsaken are pretty smurfing evil too, so yeah, they're about on a level. I'm not saying neither of them have a good reason to be evil, but that doesn't change the fact that they are pretty [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty.

It was before TBC that the Horde could easily be argued to be more good than the Alliance. Now, the at least hugely questionable race of the Blood Elves joined the Horde (Okay, nowhere else for them to go, but the Horde didn't have to let them in.), whilst the completely unblemished and blameless race of the Draenei joined the Alliance, pretty much without looking at the situation at all.

It is pretty clear that Blizz's idea is that the Horde are the bad guys and the Alliance are the good guys, despite the several years they've just spent trying to be more nuanced.

Edit: They are mercenary because they will do anything for a hit of magic and they are murderers because of pretty much the same reason.
